Hi, I'm Carson! I'm a recent marketing graduate from CSUSM in search of a marketing position.
About me
I graduated from Cal State San Marcos in May 2026 with a degree in Business Administration, Marketing, finishing Summa Cum Laude with a 3.92 GPA. I did all of that while working 30+ hours a week and holding three extracurricular leadership roles at once.
What I love most, however, is the creative side. I love finding new ways to get a brand in front of people and really capture their attention. I've been making and editing fun videos since childhood, I'm fluent in Premiere Pro and Canva, and I'm quick to learn new tools depending on the situation.
As the president of my fraternity during college, Alpha Sigma Phi, I helped facilitate the growth of the chapter by 50%, oversaw our social media across Instagram and TikTok, and helped expand a recruiting strategy based on human connection opposed to a hard pitch. Outside of work, I love playing guitar and I once listened to a new album every single day for two years, having documented all of it.

Where my work ethic comes from
I worked my way up to a Level 6 cook, the position that sets the pace and quality for the entire store, earning five promotions over the course of two years. On a busy night that meant turning out upwards of 200 or more burgers in a 30-minute period, often short-staffed, without sacrificing quality. I also trained fellow associates across multiple stations, directly assisting in their promotion(s).
It also developed habits I try to carry everywhere, be it nearly perfect attendance in five years of work (both In-N-Out and my former job), a Hardest Worker Award, and a customer-service mindset of leaving people happier than they were when they came in.
Campaigns & case studies
A few real world projects I'd like to showcase.
A full digital marketing campaign for a real brand: current-state audit, influencer recommendations, budget reallocation, new email campaigns, and a platform expansion plan.
